Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) Dd and Dd</em>

Explanation:

To explain the answer, lets make a punnet square with a cross between Dd and Dd.

       D       d

D     DD    Dd

d      Dd     dd

As deafness is a recessive trait, this means that both the alleles in a person should be same and recessive for that trait to occur in the phenotype. A cross between heterozygous carriers show that there will be a 25% probability that the offsprings produced will get the recessive alleles and hence they will be deaf. 50% of the offsprings will have the chance to be carriers like their parents. And there willbe a 25% chance that they will have normal homozygous alleles.
